OUR PETITION TO CONGRESS TO AMEND PTSD AWARENESS DAY TOA NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS WEEK OR FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE TO BE PTSD AWARENESS MONTH.Recovering from post traumatic stress disorder takes strength, faith, and commitment. Men and women in recovery showcase the power each of us holds to transform ourselves, our families, and our communities. As people share their stories and celebrate the transformative power of recovery, they also help dispel myths and stigmas PTSD and offer hope for the future for themselves, their families and their friends.

There are scores of people from all walks of life across America that are not aware to theharmful effects of PTSD, to families, and friends. Also, just as many that have no idea whatPTSD even is: POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. It is time to bring attention to theneed for a "National PTSD Awareness Week", or month.
